This day in history in 1587 – Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded! Oh no!
For Friday fun, just a clip from the early movie industry depicting the beheading.. of course.. as you will tell by the poor “graphics/special effects” that this wasn’t the real beheading (No cameras/video in 1587 people!)
Properly named the Execution of Mary Stuart, this short.. short.. film was completed in 1895. Happy Friday!
(I’ll advise that this is probably PG/PG-13.. depending on your parenting style 
)
Somebody has been playing in the Library of Congress! 1895 film, very nice! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Toby! I actually SIed for Dr. Ringel’s Hollywood class and that’s where I stumbled on this. Would you like to see more interesting videos on the site? Pertaining to history.. of course..
Well of course!
I prefer Monty Python’s version of the Death of Mary Queen of Scots
Classic Dr. Schneid – Thanks for the recommendation on this.. I’ve been telling Robin for awhile that we should have a Monty Python marathon!
